VDM derailed from a good cause, started invading people’s life – Ruggedman

Popular Nigerian rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, otherwise known as Ruggedman, has stated that controversial social media activist, VeryDarkMan deviated from fighting a good cause and started intruding in people’s personal lives.

In a recent interview, the singer revealed that it was the reason he stopped supporting the self-acclaimed freedom fighter.

The Nigerian star noted that the approach of the activist has become dangerous and illogical.

“I liked VeryDarkMan in the beginning when he started with the whole NAFDAC number thing but when he started going personal into people’s private lives, especially with women. That, to me, he is just distracting himself.

“But it is like saying a policeman took a shooting which was his last resort as the first. They will tell you but if you’re a professional you are supposed to be used to it.”

He further stressed that the activist lacks decorum and doesn’t handle negative words and criticisms professionally.

“His approach is what I don’t like anymore. He was calling out people that sell products without a NAFDAC number, that’s amazing but now what do you hear about him?

“Iyabo Ojo and her daughter kind of thing, that’s why I said it is his approach I’m not okay with. So any response he gets from them is probably what he said.

“I think what he said stemmed from what I think was Mohbad’s situation. Where he said the old retired actresses are trying to use the situation as clout. Everyone knows it was Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.

“Now you can’t say something like that and don’t expect people to respond. So he started it. That’s what I meant by people’s private lives.”
